Task answer

From my point of view, it depends on the person who is looking for someone who pays and on the person who receives the payment. Because there are a lot of angles to look into as to why the person who needs to pay is looking for someone to look after their child or children or do household chores. Also, this kind of act helps other people unexpectedly. Thus, if the employer and employee were able to build a harmonious relationship, instead of looking for a person who can help them, they will stick with the person whom they established not just trust with but also a relationship that cannot be built by just a day or two of meeting. Like what they say, it takes two to tango. But, for someone who doesn't want to pay for someone to look after their kids or do the household chores, it's also understandable, because nowadays people choose to save money; despite being very tired and lacking rest, they choose to watch over their kids and help them with their homework. Or do the household chores to relieve their stress. Whatever option a person or the people choose, it still depends on why, how, and when they are going to do it. Because, if you're a parent, there are things to consider, such as budgeting the monthly allowance, etc. The same goes with a single person who rents a place near his or her work to avoid such unexpected occurrences and also who always budgets.
